WHO WE ARE

Coalition for Integrity is a non-profit, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization. We work in coalition with a wide range of individuals and organizations to combat corruption and promote integrity in the public and private sectors.

What we do

Coalition for Integrity works towards raising integrity and anti-corruption compliance standards in the private sector and promoting consistent enforcement of the OECD Anti-Bribery Standard. Learn More

Coalition for Integrity promotes integrity, transparency, and accountability in U.S. government and elections. Learn More.

In 2017, we launched our Virginia Integrity Challenge, which calls on candidates for state-level offices in Virginia to post their campaign finance reports, financial disclosures, and gift disclosures on their campaign websites. We believe that candidates should be proactive about transparency and take affirmative steps to show voters that they will be open and accountable to those they serve. Making personal and campaign finance disclosures publicly available and easily accessible sends a strong message to voters who want to elect candidates they can trust. In 2018, we will expand the integrity challenge to a number of additional states.

Coalition for Integrity is actively advocating to close loopholes in the U.S. anti-money laundering framework that allow corrupt individuals to enjoy the proceeds of crime and corruption. Learn More

In Focus

Letter to President Trump to take decisive steps to stem International Bribery and Corruption at the G20.

The U.S. needs to advance a positive message at the G20 Summit which emphasizes the importance of all G20 countries acting to combat corruption. Strong implementation and enforcement of foreign bribery laws has also been included in the G20 commitments at least since 2010. The 2018 Leaders’ Summit presents an important opportunity to make progress on a longstanding G20 commitment. We at the Coalition of Integrity have written to President Trump calling for consistent enforcement of foreign bribery laws by all G20 countries. The United States Chamber of Commerce, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, United States Council for International Business, National Foreign Trade Council and the International Corporate Accountability Roundtable have also signed the letter along with us.

Transparent Beneficial Ownership is Key to Addressing Corruption and Should be an Essential Component of the Counter Terrorism and Illicit Finance Act (H.R. 6068)

Avoiding and Eliminating Potential Conflicts of Interest is a Fundamental Duty of Public Officials

Maintaining the public’s trust in their government depends on how public officials behave – If they use their office to benefit themselves, their families, their friends, personal affiliates or associates or their business partners, they are showing complete disdain for the public. Public officials should make decisions and provide advice on the basis of disinterestedness, impartiality and integrity. Recent scandals have drawn attention to the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest as these can weaken trust in government.
